Faema/E-61 Group Head Portafilter Gasket

Faema group head gasket. Probably the most common group head gasket used today, the F_59 is used in some models of Brasilia, Bravo, ECM, Faema, Futurmat, Gaggia (Espagna - Italcrem), Grimac, La Pavoni, Sorrento (ECM), Vibiemme (VBM) and VFA.

If your portafilters are worn, they may be engaging too far to the right (and if you don't want to buy new portafilters), you may want to consider purchasing the thicker F_60, a 9mm gasket.

SEMI-COMMERCIAL MODEL USERS BEWARE! Models such as the Expobar, ECM Giotto, Isomac and Quickmill claim to have an E-61 group head, and for the most part they are, but we have found that these gaskets are a bit too tight on the inside diameter. We recommend the W_556A instead.
